For completeness, here are my benchmark results. Just note that my machine is fairly noisy. |

Other than these little nits, this looks good! :)

We can make this safe using self.ticks.get_mut()

Oh cool! I for some reason was unable to find this method. I see it's stabilised since 1.50.
Note that this UnsafeCell goes away in #2227 completely.

I've noticed that we are overusing interior mutability of the Table data, where in many cases we already own a unique reference to it. That prompted a slight refactor aiming to reduce number of safety constraints that must be manually upheld. Now the majority of those are just about avoiding bound checking, which is relatively easy to prove right. Another aspect is reducing the complexity of Table struct. Notably, we don't ever use archetypes stored there, so this whole thing goes away. Capacity and grow amount were mostly superficial, as we are already using Vecs inside anyway, so I've got rid of those too. Now the overall table capacity is being driven by the internal entity Vec capacity. This has a side effect of automatically implementing exponential growth pattern for BitVecs reallocations inside Table, which to my measurements slightly improves performance in tests that are heavy on inserts. YMMV, but I hope that those tests were at least remotely correct.

Pull request successfully merged into main. Build succeeded: |
Continuing the work on reducing the safety footguns in the code, I've removed one extra `UnsafeCell` in favour of safe `Cell` usage inisde `ComponentTicks`. That change led to discovery of misbehaving component insert logic, where data wasn't properly dropped when overwritten. Apart from that being fixed, some method names were changed to better convey the "initialize new allocation" and "replace existing allocation" semantic. Depends on #2221, I will rebase this PR after the dependency is merged. For now, review just the last commit. Co-authored-by: Carter Anderson <mcanders1@gmail.com>
